A protocol treasury refers to a pool of digital assets, often governed by a decentralized autonomous organization, that is controlled by a blockchain protocol itself. These funds are typically generated through transaction fees, token issuance, or specific revenue streams within the protocol’s operations. The treasury is used to finance ongoing development, marketing, community initiatives, and other expenditures necessary for the protocol’s growth and sustainability. It provides a self-sustaining funding mechanism for decentralized projects.
